Milk Tea Recipe

Hi Steemians,

I promised a milk tea recipe that I have tried to replicate the ones I have tasted in Hong Kong. It requires the Tea mixture which is very confusing and has a lot of different way of creating it. I have tried to replicate it from things I can order from Amazon in hopes to create something similar

Tea list:

• Williamson Loose English Breakfast (http://amzn.to/2vv7ens)
• Lipton Yellow Label Orange Pekoe (http://amzn.to/2hAHfoZ)
• Assam Loose Leaf (http://amzn.to/2hARWbd)
  ^{These are affiliate links, it shortens and makes it quicker for me to refer to them.}

I blend the 3 different teas with equal parts of 2/5th Williamson and Lipton and 1/5 Assam and store it in an airtight jar and let it sit for a day. (advice from a local HK cafe)

once "marinated" for over a day I use 3 tablespoons per 12 oz cup and steep for 10 mins.

There is a technique of pouring it back and forth with a filter to extract the most out of the tea, but I simply use a metal tea strainer to steep the tea when I am too lazy to do that process. It does create a better cup of milk tea since it becomes stronger but a simple tea filter should suffice.

Most people I know put 1/3 cup of evaporated milk to 2/3 tea either (carnation or black and white) brand. Or if people like it sweetened, they would often opt for condensed milk from the black and white brand.

This recipe is very close but still cannot beat the famous ones locally found in Hong Kong. I will continue to experiment until I get the perfect blend.

Cheers and enjoy.

I hope you like my recipe!
